3.米克尔·阿尔特塔说：“在上个赛季的最后一天，我与俱乐部的所有球员聚在一起，他们走到我面前说，‘我们明年会做到的，我们会变得更好，我们想要更多。’”
“当你看到这些时，你会意识到是他们自己在推动这种雄心壮志，所以这总是有可能的。就在那个晚上（球员们转向本赛季的备战）。”
“每个人都在谈论同样的事情，那就是他们不会就此止步，他们想要更多。我们知道我们可以做些什么来变得更好。”
“有时你必须接受别人比你更出色，这就是体育。我们想要达到他们现在的水平，这真的很鼓舞人心。”
Mikel Arteta: “On the last day [of last season], we had a gathering together with all the club players & they were coming to me & saying, ‘We are going to do it next year, we are going to be better, we want more’.”
“When you see that, you accept they’re the ones driving that ambition so that’s always possible. It was the same evening [the players turned to this season].”
“Everyone was talking about the same thing, how they weren’t going to stop there & how they wanted much more. We know the things that we can do to get better.”
“There are moments when you have to accept that somebody else has been better, that’s sport. We want to get to where they are at the moment & that’s really inspiring.”

5.米克尔·阿尔特塔：“尤里恩·廷伯明天将加入球队。显然，他经历了一段非常艰难的时期，但我认为他很好地利用了这段时间，因为他已经完成了很多事情，并且在除了比赛之外的许多方面都有所进步。他发现这真的很有帮助，现在他已经准备好了。”
Mikel Arteta: “Jurrien Timber will be in the squad tomorrow. Obviously he had a really tough period but he used it in a great way I think because he’s managed to get a lot of things done & improved in many areas except playing. He found it really helpful & now he’s ready.”
